Franken Sci High – Fun for All Ages #Giveaway

December 8, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Franken Sci High

In the first book, What’s the Matter with Newton?, Newton Warp is a mystery, even to himself: He wakes up one day in the library with no idea of who he is, how he got there, or where he came from. Newton is quickly assigned to a dorm and makes a friend: Shelly Ravenholt, who creates living, breathing monsters for fun. He’s eager to find out who his family is, but this is high school after all, and he soon has other problems: Newton has to create a last-minute project for the Mad Science Fair and Shelly’s friend Theremin (a robot) is really jealous of him. And that’s not all: the other students at Franken-Sci High soon realize that Newton has a few useful, but surprising quirks. Wherever Newton came from, they start to suspect that he’s not entirely human!

Franken Sci High

In the second book, Monsters Among Us, Newton Warp’s friends notice he’s being followed around by a strange new professor, Dr. Flubitus, but have no idea why. Newton wonders if it has something to do with the barcode on his foot. He doesn’t have much time to dwell on it, though, because soon there are reports of a giant monster loose on campus! Shelly assumes a school for mad scientists would have top-notch security against monsters, nosy tourists, and other invaders, but soon she and her friends Newton and Theremin discover a gaping loophole in the system. If a marauding monster can find its way to the school’s secret location in the Bermuda Triangle and figure out how to open a portal to the campus, anyone else could get in, too! Then Shelly finds out she might be the reason the monster is there in the first place

Franken Sci High

My Take on the Books

This is a great book that is full of adventures for Newton and his friends. Newton and his friends are a great group of kids and kids and parents alike will love these books not only for the adventure that you get, but also for the bizarre, funny, clever plot that is what you find in both of these books.

The Franken-Sci High series is truly a fun romp of science, monsters and so much more. If you love robots and portals and brains floating in jars you have good taste, and your kid probably does too!

Great DC Comic Reads For The Holidays

 

Batman: Damned

About the Book

The Joker has been murdered. His killer is a mystery. Batman is the World’s Greatest Detective. But what happens when the person he is searching for is the man staring back at him in the mirror?

THE JOKER IS DEAD.

There is no doubt about that. But whether Batman finally snapped his scrawny neck or some other sinister force in Gotham City did the deed is still a mystery.

Problem is, Batman can’t remember…and the more he digs into this labyrinthine case, the more he starts to doubt everything he’s uncovering.

So who better to set him straight than…John Constantine?

The problem with that is as much as John loves a good mystery, he loves messing with people’s heads even more. So with John’s “help,” the pair will delve into the sordid underbelly of Gotham as they race toward the mind-blowing truth of who murdered the Joker.

Batman: Damned is a groundbreaking supernatural horror story told by two of comics’ greatest modern creators: Brian Azzarello (Dark Knight III: The Master Race, 100 Bullets) and Lee Bermejo (Hellblazer, Joker).

This hardcover volume collects Batman: Damned #1-3 and features a behind-the-scenes extras gallery with an afterword by Brian Azzarello.

My Take on the Book

This is a story that was raw, full of grit and power. This book has a ton of substance throughout the entire book. The book itself is amazing full of a great story, great illustrations and more. This is definitely a dark book, but it is also an indication of where the story of Batman is going. The book itself really looks at Bruce Wayne and Batman. You need to take time with this book and really explore all of the intricacies of the man who is the bat. It is a dark book that for some may be too dark, but I will say that it is an amazing book that makes you think about Batman in a new way! This book opens the door to the future that is coming for Batman, so strap up and get ready for a powerful read!

Come With Me Book #Giveaway

July 2, 2017 by dadofdivas 7 Comments

Come With Me

 photo disclaimer_zpsaa1cb05b.jpg

About the Book

Sixteen years ago, after the attacks on September 11, Holly McGhee felt the fear and wariness of going about her work and life in New York City normally. She drew strength and comfort from an illustration sent by her friend Pascal Lemaître, an artist living in Brussels. Then in 2016, Pascal’s city experienced its own terrorist attack. In the aftermath, Holly and Pascal decided they would spread the message of perseverance and optimism, and together they created COME WITH ME (Putnam; On sale: September 5, 2017; $17.99).
 
In tender-hearted illustrations and sincere text, Holly and Pascal’s picture book COME WITH ME answers the question asked by everyone, big and small, in the current tumultuous climate: how do we go on after a tragedy?
 
After being frightened by the anger and hatred told on the news, a little girl asks her papa if there is something she can do to make the world a better place. “Come with me,” he says, and they walk hand-in-hand, tipping their hats to those they pass. The illustrations show people from all walks of life, their expressions timid or wary—but the girl and her papa smile, and soon someone else is, too. That day, they do not lose to fear.
 
The next day, the news continues to spread its unhappy message, and the little girl asks her mama what can be done. “Come with me,” she says, and together they go to a grocery, where they meet and speak to people from all different cultures. That day, they learn that there are many different ways to be part of a community.
 
At home again, things are the same as usual: the table is set, the family eats dinner, the news spouts word of terror and fear. After dinner that night, the little girl asks if she can do something of her own—walk the dog—and her parents let her go. “Come with me,” she tells the boy across the hall, because “two people together are stronger than one.” Walking one step at a time, they begin to see that, as small as their part may seem, being brave, gentle, and kind does matter to the world.
 
Honest and accessible, COME WITH ME is a way for parents to talk to their children in the aftermath of tragedy. But COME WITH ME is also a reminder for humans of all ages, who have ever felt powerless, that the strongest response to fear is to remain kind and hopeful.

My Take on the Book
This was a wonderful book that really allows you to see the world in a new way. I loved the message and showing you that every person can make a difference in the world. I loved to see how engaged the girls and her loved ones were and the conversations that that have about making a different. Then, it was so special to see the girl passing on what she learned to another at the end too.

A Hundred Thousand Worlds Book #Giveaway

June 12, 2017 by dadofdivas 4 Comments

A Hundred Thousand Worlds
 photo disclaimer_zpsaa1cb05b.jpg

About the Book

A Hundred Thousand Worlds combines a delightfully geeky setting with an emotionally rich story, this literary-meets-genre pleasure will have you laughing, moved to tears and completely absorbed in now-mainstream comic book culture of the world of the cons.

 

For Valerie Torrey—an actress who left her hit sci-fi TV show and co-star husband six years earlier after tragedy struck—her appearances at the cons mark an uncomfortable return to the character and life she fled.  For nine-year-old Alex, the conventions are a world where the fantastic brushes up against the real.  Wandering aisles filled with superheroes, robots, time travelers and monsters, Alex and Val are drawn into the orbit of comic-con regulars from illustrators and writers to a group of spandex-clad cosplay women who offer a chorus of knowing commentary. Alex knows that he will be reunited with his estranged father in LA but as they draw closer to their destination, he realizes that the story his mother is telling him about their journey might have a very different ending than he imagined.

 

A HUNDRED THOUSAND WORLDS is a book about fandom and creativity, but more importantly, it is about the fierce and complicated love between a mother and son, and how the stories we tell each other come to shape us, even as we shape them.

Bob Proehl.Credit Heather Ainsworth

An Interview with the Author

Q: Your novel A HUNDRED THOUSAND WORLDS follows several characters across the country attending a series of comic book conventions. When and why did you become a comic fan?

A: When Superman died. I was a big baseball card collector before that (which makes me sound a thousand years old), and there was all this hype about how much the issue where Supes died was going to be worth. But by the time I got my dad to take me to the comic book store, the first print was sold out and I was stuck with l think a fourth printing. Since it wasn’t worth anything, I figured I might as well read it. Not only did Supes die, but it set up a whole other story that would continue the next week.

 

It was the serial nature of it that pulled me in at first, and the epic scope. These huge stories that would go on and on, week after week. We lived in the suburbs, so I would either bike into Buffalo on the weekends, or give my dad a list on Wednesday to pick up on his way home from work. It was the ritual of it too. Growing up in the suburbs, you need ways to mark time. Wednesdays were new comics days. They still are.

 

Q: What inspired you to write about the relationship between a mother and son?

A: The setting for this book grew out of my own interests, but the story grew out of having a kid in my life. I was a new stepdad to a (then) eight year old when I sketched out the initial the idea for the book. At that time, the friendship between Brett and Alex was going to be more central and the relationship between Val and Alex was secondary and drew a lot on my wife and my stepson. But this book got put on the backburner for a while, and by the time I got down to writing it, my relationship with my stepson had changed pretty drastically. I was reckoning with what it meant to be a parent, and figuring out the kind of parent I wanted to be. So in addition to a sort of closely observed relationship, the dynamics between Val and Alex started to include my thoughts and anxieties about raising a kid. About how you function as an adult with drives and desires, and also as a parent, and the way those two things are constantly pulling at one another. Parent-child love is such a sanctified thing, it becomes tough to talk about in any complicated way, and I really wanted to explore all the currents that move back and forth within that bond, that trouble it and ultimately strengthen it.

 

Q: Superhero characters are a massive cultural commodity, are more people reading comics thanks to big box office releases? If no, is there anything cultural fans of these characters could benefit from by reading the comic books?

A: I don’t think there’s as much crossover as there could be from superheroes in the movies and on TV to reading comics. It can be daunting to get started on reading superhero comics, not to mention confusing. In comics, as I’m writing this, Bruce Wayne isn’t Batman, Superman can’t fly, Thor is a woman, and Supergirl doesn’t even have a monthly comic book. So in the rare instance someone might walk out of the movie theater and into their local comic book shop, you might not see anything that matches what you saw on screen. Not to mention the fact that comics have a visual and formal language all their own that can be somewhat opaque on a first reading.

 

But there are so many good places to start, whether it’s with superhero comics from the Big Two, or the amazing depth and breadth of creator-owned stuff that’s out there right now, or manga, which I don’t really know the first thing about but a lot of it looks super cool. And in a weird way, the fact that the economic stakes of comics are lower means that the creative stakes can be much higher. The sheer level of imagination in comic books is pretty staggering. Finding an “in”, or finding the right book for you, can be tough, but a good bookseller, or comic book store employee, or geeky friend, should be able to listen to what you’re interested in and point you towards something you’ll adore. Or, seriously, ask me. I have loads of opinions. Loads.

The Bourne Initiative #Giveaway

June 12, 2017 by dadofdivas 8 Comments

The Bourne Initiative

I partnered with Grand Central Publishing to share this giveaway.

About the Book

In The Bourne Initiative Jason Bourne—the rogue secret agent who has lost his memory—returns in this stunning new thriller from Eric Van Lustbader, continuing Robert Ludlum’s classic series.

 

Gen. Boris Karpov, head of the feared Russian FSB, is dead. But Karpov has reached out from the grave with an unstoppable cyber operation he conceived in the months before his murder, aimed at the heart of the United States—a way to steal the president’s nuclear launch codes. Who has taken over the operation? Karpov trusted only one man: Jason Bourne. But can Bourne be working against his own country? Gen. Arthur MacQuerrie, chief of the Dreadnaught Section of NSA and Morgana Broussard, head of the mysterious Meme, LLC, are convinced of Bourne’s treasonous act, and will do everything in their power to kill him.

 

Flushed from cover, hunted by the best assassins in the business, wounded and nearly killed, Bourne’s only hope is to join forces with his bitterest enemy, a Somali magus named Keyre, whose terrorist forces Bourne once decimated. Now Keyre is more powerful than ever, with a burgeoning international network—a man who can help Bourne, but to what end? Lying in wait is the young woman Bourne saved from Keyre’s torture, who now calls herself the Angelmaker. Both seductive and deadly, the Angelmaker loves Bourne, watches over him, but from whom does she take her orders? Is she ally or adversary?

 

These are questions Bourne must answer before he can unravel the mystery of Boris Karpov’s last legacy, a weaponized code that may very well bring about the unthinkable: a violent end to America.

My Take on the Book

I have loved reading the Jason Bourne books in the past and The Bourne Initiative continues the action and re-kindles my love of the series itself. The book moves quickly and every page really encouraged me to move forward and read another chapter. You get to see Jason Bourne in a new way than how I had seen him in the past. The book has a ton of twists and turns and even the end has a great twist that threw me a bit. The book was a great book that left me on the edge of my seat.

 

About the Series

Jason Bourne is one of the most popular and compelling characters in contemporary fiction. Originally created by bestselling author Robert Ludlum, the Jason Bourne series was later adapted into films that have become modern classics. Now, New York Times bestselling writer Eric Van Lustbader carries on Jason Bourne’s story with a new novel about the rogue secret agent who has lost his memory…
